STAFF REPORT – CITY COUNCIL MEETING
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Emily Sinkhorn, Environmental Services Director
PREPARER: Emily Benvie, Environmental Services Deputy Director DATE: April 2, 2025
TITLE: Determine the Carlson Park Skate Spot Project Exempt from CEQA per Section 15303; Award the Contract to Primary Concrete for $92,500; Authorize Environmental Services Director to Increase Contract by 10%; and Authorize City Manager to Execute Documents.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Council:
1) Determine the Carlson Park Skate Spot Project exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per Section 15303;
2) Award the Design-Build Contract to Primary Concrete in the amount of $92,500; 3) Authorize the Environmental Services Director to increase the contract by up to 10% for contingencies; and
4) Authorize the City Manager to execute all applicable documents.
INTRODUCTION:
This project is the final component of the larger Carlson Park Improvements Project, which has been a Council and community priority for the Valley West neighborhood for over five years. The Carlson Park Improvements Project was substantially completed in fall 2024; and now staff is seeking to advance design and construction of the final remaining park amenity: a small skate spot. The proposed skate spot will provide a safe, designated place for all wheeled-sport enthusiasts to develop their skills and enjoy the company of their peers. The skate spot will include elements geared toward beginnerlevel users while accommodating all age groups and ability levels.
BACKGROUND:
Since the City acquired the Carlson Park property along the Mad River from Caltrans in 2017, it has been a community priority to develop active and passive recreation opportunities to connect the Valley West neighborhood to the Mad River and provide further options for active living for all ages.
Beginning in 2018, Environmental Services staff engaged the Valley West community in developing priorities for Carlson Park. These engagements informed draft design concepts which helped to secure two grant funding sources. In April 2023, Senator McGuire announced additional funding through a state budget allocation to ensure the project can meet community goals and include exciting features to draw in both residents and visitors.
During construction of the Carlson Park Improvements Project, the Parks and Recreation Committee identified a location within the park that could serve as a skate spot to provide additional recreational opportunities for the community. The skate spot will include construction of an approximately 480 square foot concrete skate area adjacent to the special event area and will support greater use of the space apart from special events usage. This further investment in Carlson Park will create an even more welcoming community space, geared toward youth and beginner skaters.
DISCUSSION:
On February 7, 2025, the City released a Request for Proposals for Design and Build services for the Carlson Park Skate Spot. Proposals were received until 4 PM on Friday, February 28, 2025. Three (3) proposals were received by the deadline; respondents included American Ramp Company, Primary Concrete, and Gallagher Concrete Construction. A selection committee reviewed and scored the proposals and conducted interviews with the top two candidates. Primary Concrete was rated the best candidate for the project by the selection committee and presented the lowest cost proposal as well.
If a contract is presently awarded, design will commence immediately, and construction is anticipated to take place this summer.
COMMITTEE/COMMISSION REVIEW:
Award of this contract will help fulfill a Parks and Recreation Committee FY 25/26 goal, which has been an identified goal since FY 23/24: supporting development of skate spots within City-owned parks or rights-of-way. The Committee has recommended including a skate feature at Carlson Park since 2023 and formed a Skate Spot Subcommittee in 2023. The subcommittee members provided feedback on development of the RFP and served on the City’s selection committee.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA):
This project is exempt under Section 15303 – New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures of the CEQA Guidelines because it includes less than 1,000 square feet of ground disturbance and is not located within an environmentally sensitive area. It is an appurtenant facility of the existing Carlson Park.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:
The Carlson Park Skate Spot Design and Build Project is supported through a state budget allocation made possible by Senator Mike McGuire. Funding to implement the project is included in the fiscal year 2024-25 budget under GL 101-70-81-57613.

TITLE: Adopt a CEQA Exemption for the 2025 Joint Slurry Project; Approve Plans and Award Contract to Intermountain Slurry Seal, Inc. for $614,160.20; Authorize City Engineer to Increase Contract by $350,756.62; and Authorize City Manager to Execute Documents.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Council:
1) Adopt a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Categorical Exemption for the 2025 Joint Slurry Project pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301(c); 2) Approve the project plans and award a construction contract for the Joint Slurry Project to Intermountain Slurry Seal, Inc., in the amount of $614,160.20; 3) Authorize the City Engineer to approve change orders and increase the Contract amount by up to $350,756.62 (for a total not to exceed $964,916.82) to allow for any unforeseen contingencies and additional work as necessary; and
4) Authorize the City Manager to execute all applicable documents.
INTRODUCTION:
This is the City’s annual slurry seal project in which the City collaborates with local agencies (Humboldt County and the cities of Eureka and Fortuna) to create a larger project to attract out-ofthe-area contractors. There are no local contractors equipped for slurry seal type projects. This year, the City of Arcata is leading (bidding) the project. The partnering agencies who participated this year (Fortuna, Eureka and Humboldt County) submitted their plans and letters of funding commitments for their portion of the work. As the awarding body, the City of Arcata will be responsible for payment to the contractor; however, the other agencies will be invoiced for their portion of work and will be reimbursing the City of Arcata.
The project plans and specifications were finished in January 2025 and bids were immediately advertised. The portion of the slurry work within the City of Arcata includes parts of Giuntoli Ln, H St from Sunset Blvd to 17th – 12th St and 17th to , 8th, 9th and 10th St.
DISCUSSION:
Five sealed bids were received from Contractors as follows:
No. Name of the Contractor Total
1 VSS INTERNATIONAL $675,325.00

3 INSTERMOUNTAIN SLURRY SEAL, INC. $614,160.20
4 PAVEMENT COATINGS CO. $746,587.32
5 AMERICAN PAVEMENT SYSTEMS $632,060.64
Please see attachment A, an itemized bid tabulation sheet, for a summary of bids received.
Sealed bids were received until 11:00 am on MARCH 13, 2025. Following the opening of bids, the bid range was evaluated for consistency.

STAFF REPORT – CITY COUNCIL MEETING
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: David Loya, Director of Community Development
PREPARER: Joe Mateer, Senior Planner
DATE: March 26, 2025
TITLE: Introduce Ordinance No. 1575, An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Arcata Amending the Land Use Code to Update Affordable Housing Zoning; Waive Reading of the Text and Consent to Read by Title Only.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Council:
1) Open the public hearing;
2) Receive a staff report and public comments;
3) Adopt the CEQA determination included in the Environmental Review section of Ordinance No. 1575;
4) Introduce Ordinance No. 1575, An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Arcata Amending the Land Use Code to Update Affordable Housing Zoning; Waive reading of the text and consent to read by title only; and
5) Continue the item for adoption at the April 16, 2025, City Council meeting.
INTRODUCTION:
Under the direction of the City Council, staff prepared draft Land Use Code text amendments to update State Density Bonus Law and add Inclusionary Zoning requirements to assist in the creation of affordable housing. The City Council directed staff to develop an Inclusionary Zoning ordinance to ensure market rate housing projects were contributing to the City’s affordable housing solutions.
Land Use Code Chapter 9.32 – Inclusionary Housing, includes all new text as this chapter was repealed in 2014. In addition, minor text amendments are included to align the Land Use Code condominium and definitions sections with the affordable housing amendments.
DISCUSSION:
This item was continued from the February 19, 2025, regular meeting to allow additional review by the City’s legal team. Non-substantive edits to the Inclusionary Zoning chapter were made based on that additional review. Ordinance No. 1575 is included as Attachment A.
Density Bonus
As required by state law, the City adopted the current Density Bonus zoning requirements in 2008.
State Density Bonus law requires the City to grant increases in the number of dwelling units allowed
on a property and other incentives when the developer voluntarily agrees to provide dwelling units to lower income persons. The proposed density bonus amendments will align with current State law that has changed since 2008. The amendments makes more reference to State law that may continue to evolve of time.
Inclusionary Zoning
Inclusionary Zoning is authorized by State Housing Element law, however it is not mandated as in the case of the State Density Bonus law. Inclusionary Zoning amendments allow the City to require a percentage of new housing units to be developed and rented or sold to low-income or moderateincome households.
The City’s Redevelopment Agency subsidized most Inclusionary Zoning housing built prior to 2012, the year the State dissolved Redevelopment Agencies. Without the subsidy, several projects with inclusionary units were stalled because it was not financially viable to build the projects. In 2014, the Council repealed the inclusionary zoning requirements based in part from the lack of redevelopment funding sources.
The financial feasibility of inclusionary units may be different in today’s market. The prior ordinance triggered inclusionary zoning when five units were proposed. The Planning Commission recommends that inclusionary units be required for projects that have 30 or more units. The larger scale projects will be able to absorb project costs and change the financial feasibility of producing the required affordable units.
The Planning Commission recommends the percentage of units by household income to be 3% for very-low-income households or 6% for low-income households. In addition, 10% of the units must be reserved for moderate income households.
As with the State Density Bonus law, concessions and incentives are included to offset the cost of developing rent or sale of restricted units.
POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
Text amendments to Land Use Code Chapter 9.31- Density Bonus reflect updating State law on housing. Chapter 9.32, is a new set of zoning regulations that offer slightly better increases in housing density than required by State Density Bonus law. Together, the text amendments offer qualifying projects options for providing affordable housing by allowing increases in housing density. The addition of Inclusionary Zoning requirements may be viewed as a method to deter gentrification during rapid redevelopment.
COMMITTEE/COMMISSION REVIEW:
On January 28, 2025, and on a 5-2 vote, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. PC-25-01 recommending the City Council adopt the proposed City Council Ordinance No. 1575 to update and add additional zoning standards to encourage the creation of affordable housing.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA):
The Density Bonus amendments included in Ordinance No. 1575 are exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines pursuant to section 15061(b)(3) (the common sense exemption) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the adoption of these regulations may have a significant effect on the environment. The Density Bonus amendment
updates the provisions of existing state and local law. The minor edits do not change the potential effects of the ordinance relative to baseline conditions.
The Inclusionary Zoning amendments were contemplated in the General Plan Environmental Impact Report adopted by the Council by Resolution No. 234-47 (State Clearinghouse #2022020107). The environmental effects of this action were addressed in the EIR.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:
Density Bonus is a State law that is an unfunded mandate that requires monitoring of eligible affordable housing units. Qualifying household’s income and the rents paid are monitored annually to ensure compliance with current standards. The Inclusionary Zoning chapter is a City initiated program that will also require monitoring of incomes and rents. The annual monitoring costs could be completed by City staff or a third-party private contractor. The costs associated with monitoring the Density Bonus and Inclusionary Housing depend on the number of qualifying development projects and dwelling units created by these zoning standards. The City would apply for funding to assist with the required monitoring of qualifying affordable housing.

Section 4. Findings of Approval. Based upon the whole record, information received in public hearings, and the Arcata Planning Commission Resolution No. PC-25- 01, dated January 28, 2025, the following findings of approval are hereby adopted pursuant to Land Use Code Section 9.92.050.B, Zoning Map and Land Use Code Amendment Findings, and California Government Code, Section 65860:
1. The proposed amendments are consistent with the General Plan.
The proposed Land Use Code text amendments update state density bonus law and adds inclusionary zoning requirements. The City of Arcata’s 2019 - 2027 Housing Element adopted December 18, 2019, and subsequently found in compliance with housing element law on January 28, 2020, by the California Department of Housing and Community Development, provides that the City will provide incentives for affordable and infill housing (policies HE-13 and HE18), prioritize low-income households (policy HE-20), encourage density bonuses to incorporate affordable housing (policy HE-22), and evaluate inclusionary zoning (implementation measure 20).

The City of Arcata City Council finds the proposed density bonus and inclusionary zoning are important zoning standards to ensure affordable housing opportunities for all community members, regardless of socioeconomic factors. The text amendments support our community’s public interest for development of additional housing, and specifically affordable housing for seniors, educators, essential service providers, students, etc. are supported by City policy outlined in the General Plan 2045. Review and approval of affordable housing incentives ensure public health and safety conditions are met. Based on the above, the City of Arcata City Council finds the proposed Land Use Code amendments will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience or welfare of the City.

The goal of the inclusionary concessions or incentives are to apply available concessions or incentives to qualifying projects in a manner that, to the
extent feasible, offsets the cost of providing the units. The Director shall respond to a request for concessions or incentives in compliance with Section 9.32.110.A.10 and shall determine inclusionary incentives appropriate for the inclusionary units after a review of the Affordable Housing Plan. The City shall grant concessions or incentives necessary to offset the cost of developing inclusionary units.

The City may facilitate applying for State allocation of tax credits, mortgage revenue bond funds, or State or Federal assistance to the project ("External Subsidy").
2. Fee Waivers. The City may grant a package of fee waivers for projects that exceed the minimum inclusionary requirement by at least two times the number of units required by Section 9.32.030.A.1.
3. State Waivers. Waivers of development standards as authorized by State law.
C. Effect of incentive or concession. The granting of a concession or incentive shall not be interpreted, in and of itself, to require a General Plan amendment, zoning amendment, or other discretionary permit approval.

STAFF REPORT – CITY COUNCIL MEETING
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Tabatha Miller, Finance Director; Netra Khatri, City Engineer; and Emily Sinkhorn, Environmental Services Director
PREPARER: Tabatha Miller, Finance Director
DATE: April 2, 2025
TITLE: Consider Adopting Resolution No. 245-41, Authorizing an Interfund Loan from the Wastewater Fund to the Water Fund in an Amount Not to Exceed $3.5 Million.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Council consider adopting Resolution No. 245-41, authorizing an interfund loan from the City of Arcata’s Wastewater Fund to the City’s Water Fund in an amount not to exceed $3.5 million.
INTRODUCTION:
The Steel Waterline Replacement Project has been in the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) since at least 2005 and is a critical project. The estimated $5M cost of the project in 2020 was accounted for in the water rates adopted at that time. The most current engineer’s estimate for the total project is $14.5M, however, the project bid opening occurred on March 27, 2025, and the low bid for construction of the project is $10.8M. Total project cost is estimated at $12M, which includes $400K of meters, pumps and other equipment purchased prior to bidding the project to save funds from price increases and anticipated tariffs, plus a contingency of $800K.
Total available Water Fund resources of approximately $8.5M are not sufficient to pay for the $12M project.
BACKGROUND:
Project Description
There are numerous sections of the Arcata waterline distribution system that are comprised of steel waterlines; these waterline sections are old and unreliable and therefore must be replaced. The problem posed by these aging steel waterlines is that they frequently break or fail, and the resulting water leaks require the City to devote significant resources towards the maintenance and repair of these lines. Repairing these defective waterlines is expensive for the City, because a typical water leak requires excavation in the roadway to gain access to the line so that repairs can be made.
Additionally, regular maintenance of the lines consumes City staff work hours, which could be better spent on other projects/tasks. Some of the steel waterlines in Arcata are between 50-100 years old
and have exceeded their useful lifetimes. Currently, approximately five to ten defects in steel waterlines require significant maintenance and repair each year. It is expected that if these existing steel waterlines are not replaced with new piping, the rate at which defects occur will increase drastically over the next 5-10 years.
The replacement of the old steel lines with new C900 PVC piping will result in a water distribution system with fewer defects, and fewer leaks, as well. The new lines will be more resistant to defects given that the newly installed C900 PVC pipe is fabricated in accordance with modern piping standards; additionally, the new pipes will be installed in accordance with modern construction standards and techniques, which will also increase the reliability of the pipe network.
The project will decrease the number of operational challenges associated with the Arcata Water Distribution System. This is a replacing-in-kind project, such that the existing six-, eight-, ten-, and twelve-inch steel lines would be replaced with C900 PVP piping of equivalent length and diameter.
Any additional infrastructure (i.e., valves) installed that was not a part of the system prior to the project would have minimal impacts on required system operations and maintenance.
DISCUSSION:
Until last year, the understanding was that the rates set by the five-year rate plan in 2020 would cover $5M, the estimated cost of the project at that time. Once the City received the most recent engineer’s estimate of $14.5M, it was clear that additional funding would be needed to supplement the City’s current Water Fund reserves. The plan was to fund that portion of the project through the State Water Resources Control Board's Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (SRF) program.
However, once the current annual operating costs, revenues and additional capital needs were projected out in a 10-year financial plan, it was clear that the operating net revenue was insufficient to support future debt payments on the SRF loan or any outside debt financing option. To be eligible for future SRF funding or other financial assistance, the City would need to generate net revenue that is at least 1.2 times the amount of the debt service. As discussed during the February 5, 2025, Council meeting, this will require an increase in operating income which relies on the rates charged for water services.
Staff started the process of seeking a consultant to complete a rate study late last calendar year. A contract with Bartle Wells Associates was approved by the City Council for comprehensive water and wastewater rates and capacity charge studies and an indirect cost allocation plan on March 5, 2025. The City is currently targeting August 2025 for the completion of a rate study, which will include detailed long-range financial plans to assist the City in planning not only for a potential rate increase but also for how to fund critical infrastructure projects beyond the current Steel Waterline Replacement Project.
The City Council and members of the community have voiced concern about the impact on local residents, especially those with lower and fixed incomes. To increase water or wastewater rates, the comprehensive rate study and the Proposition 218 hearing process must be completed, so approving the Interfund Loan does not by itself increase water or sewer rates, but it does indicate that the Council would support actions to increase the water operating revenues so that the Interfund Loan can be repaid by the Water Fund.
Based on the low bid received on March 27, 2025, and available reserves in the water fund, staff recommend that the City Council approve a not to exceed $3.5 million Interfund Loan on April 2, 2025, and award the construction contract at the April 16, 2025, Council meeting.
The Interfund Loan from the Wastewater Fund to the Water Fund presented at the February 5, 2025, meeting was $8M based on funding a $14.5M Steel Waterline Replacement Project and also providing a level of funding for the next phase of water infrastructure projects. The current proposed resolution caps the loan at $3.5M, extends repayment to 10 years, and does not include funding for any other capital projects. If awarded, construction is expected to begin as early as May 15, 2025, and is anticipated to be completed in 2026.
Staff also recommend considering a number of future actions to reduce the amount of water rate increase needed and to offset the impact of increases on lower income customers.
1. Provide a program that offers customers who qualify for the Pacific Gas & Electric Care Program, reduced water rates.
2. Consider reducing Wastewater rates which were originally increased to cover a portion of the Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrade project and has since been largely covered by grants.
A reduction in wastewater rates will offset an increase in water rates on a customer’s combined water and wastewater monthly bills.
3. Prioritize capital projects, such as a full water meter replacement program that would likely increase revenue by reducing and eliminating revenue lost as a result of water meter failures.
4. Establish a policy that requires area development to cover the full cost of adding the additional needed capacity to the system.
5. Consider subsidizing water rates by repaying some or all of the cost of the Interfund Loan by one-time use of General Fund Unrestricted Reserves.
Staff anticipate that the Bartle Wells Associates Rate Study will also provide ways to minimize rate increases and offset the impacts to lower-income customers.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:
A complete fiscal picture of the Water and Wastewater Funds will not be available until the rate study and 10-year financial plans are completed by Bartle Wells Associates. The financial information presented below does not take into account the longer-term capital infrastructure or operating needs of the City’s Water or Wastewater Funds. It only provides a calculation of the amount necessary to cover the cost of an Interfund Loan from Wastewater to the Water Fund.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCATA AUTHORIZING
AN INTERFUND LOAN FROM THE WASTEWATER ENTERPRISE FUND TO THE WATER FUND IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $3.5 MILLION AND FOR A PERIOD NOT TO EXCEED 10 YEARS
WHEREAS, applicable state law and generally accepted accounting practices allow for loans between a local government’s funds; and
WHEREAS, on February 5, 2025, the City Council received a staff report on the financial status of the City’s Water Enterprise Fund and the potential impact of the current engineer’s estimate for the long planned for Steel Waterline Replacement Project; and WHEREAS, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 245-33, the City of Arcata’s Interfund Loan Policy on February 19, 2025 to establish the parameters for lending cash from one fund to another for periods longer than one year, so long as the lending fund is not hindered in accomplishing any function or project for which the fund was established; and WHEREAS, the Steel Waterline Replacement Project has been in the Capital Improvement Plan for at least 20 years, and is the removal and replacement of approximately 33,600 linear feet (LF) of aging steel water main, 300 new valves, 680 laterals, and 700 meter boxes, within the City’s water service area; and
WHEREAS, numerous sections of the Arcata waterline distribution system are comprised of steel waterlines, many which date 50-100 years old and because of their age are unreliable and frequently break or fail, requiring expensive emergency repairs; and WHEREAS, the current cost for the Steel Waterline Replacement Project is estimated at $12.0 million, significantly more than was built into the 2020 5-year water rate plan; and WHEREAS, the Water Fund has approximately $8.5 million in estimated current resources available for this critical infrastructure project which is not sufficient to fund the project if the engineer’s estimate is the true cost of the project; and
WHEREAS, on March 5, 2025, the City Council approved a contract for $125,375 with Bartle Wells Associates for comprehensive water and wastewater rates and capacity charge studies and an indirect cost allocation plan, in order to develop long-term financial plans for the Water and Wastewater funds, to include 5-year rate plans for both utilities; and
WHEREAS, capital improvements to the water and wastewater infrastructure are critical to the reliability, safety and sustainability of the City’s water and wastewater systems; and WHEREAS, consistent with the City’s Interfund Loan Policy, the City and the City’s Water customers will benefit from the increased reliability of the Water System Infrastructure from the Steel Waterline Replacement Project; there is an interdependent relationship between the water and wastewater systems that both provide clean water; and that the interfund loan to be repaid from the Water Fund is less expensive than other alternative borrowings; and will not hinder accomplishing any function or project set forth in establishing the Wastewater Fund.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City of Arcata City Council authorizes the Interfund Loan from the City’s Wastewater Enterprise Fund to the City’s Water Enterprise Fund with the following terms:
SECTION 1. Recitals. All the above recitals are true and correct, and this City Council finds, determines and represents.
SECTION 2. Authorization of Loan. The City Council of the City of Arcata authorizes the Interfund Loan up to $3,500,000 to be repaid in ten (10) years or less. The Water Fund, receiving the loan, will pay quarterly interest on the amount of the loan at a rate equal to the percentage of interest and investment earnings paid by the California State Treasurer’s Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) during the same quarterly period. The loan will be interest only until the Steel Waterline Replacement Project is complete, then principal will be paid in equal quarterly installments for the remaining number of years, not to exceed 10 from the date the first funds are loaned from the Wastewater Fund to the Water Fund. If the fiscal state of the Water Fund allows for earlier repayment and it is in the best interest of both funds, such prepayment is allowed and encouraged.
SECTION 2. Deposit of Loan Proceeds. The loan proceeds shall be recorded in the financial statements as addition to cash in the Water Fund and as a liability due to the Wastewater Fund. In the Wastewater Fund the transaction will be recorded as a reduction in cash and a loan receivable asset.
SECTION 3. Payment of Loan. The repayment of the interfund loan will be made from the Water Fund cash generated from charges for water services. Water rates will be set to include repayment of the interfund loan to the Wastewater Fund, unless the City Council in a future action repays all or a portion of the interfund loan from General Fund cash instead of from Water Fund cash. The estimated annual interest and principal payments will be budgeted each year as an interfund transfer from the Water Fund and as interfund transfer to the Wastewater Fund.
SECTION 4. This resolution shall take effect immediately upon its passage.

2) Receive a staff report and public comments; and
3) Adopt Resolution No. 245-40, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Arcata to Adopt a Policy to be in Compliance with Government Code Section 3502.3 and Hold an Annual Public Hearing Regarding Staff Vacancies.
INTRODUCTION:
AB 2561 (Gov. Code § 3502.3) requires public agencies, including the City of Arcata, to hold at least one (1) public hearing per fiscal year to discuss staff vacancies and the City’s recruitment and retention efforts. This report discusses the City of Arcata's legal obligations under the new law, which takes effect January 1, 2025. This report recommends the adoption of measures intended to ensure compliance with such legal obligations.
The proposed resolution adopts the administrative policy and procedure titled “Public Hearing and Reporting on City of Arcata Staff Vacancies, and the City of Arcata’s Recruitment and Retention Efforts” which establishes the framework and requirements for holding public hearings and reporting on the City’s workforce vacancies, and recruitment and retention efforts in compliance with Assembly Bill (“AB”) 2561. (Gov. Code § 3502.3.
BACKGROUND:
AB 2561 (Gov. Code § 3502.3) was introduced to address the issue of job vacancies in local government, which adversely affects the delivery of public services and employee workload. Among other requirements, the bill mandates that public agencies present the status of vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts during a public hearing before the agency’s governing body at least once per fiscal year. The bill was enacted into law and is codified in the Gov. Code § 3502.3. The new law was effective January 1, 2025. As of December 2024, the City of Arcata had three staff vacancies which equates to a 2.29% vacancy rate. The vacancies were as of this date, Police Dispatcher, Water/Wastewater Mechanic I/II, and Juvenile Diversion Counselor I/II.
DISCUSSION:
In compliance with the new legal obligations, the City is required to do the following:
1. Public Hearing: At least once each fiscal year, at a public hearing before the City Council, the City shall present information regarding the status of vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts (Gov. Code § 3502.3(a)(1)) and identify any necessary changes to policies, procedures, and recruitment activities that may lead to obstacles in the hiring process (Gov. Code § 3502.3(a)(3)).
If the City Council adopts an annual budget during the fiscal year, this presentation must occur prior to the City Council’s adoption of the final budget for the City of Arcata. (Gov. Code § 3502.3(a)(2).)
2. Employee Organization Participation: Allow the recognized employee organization for each bargaining unit at the City to make presentations during the public hearing concerning vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts. There are two represented bargaining units at the City. (Gov. Code § 3502.3(b).)
3. Additional Reporting for High Vacancy Rates: If vacancies within a single bargaining unit meet or exceed 20% of authorized full-time positions in that bargaining unit, upon request of the recognized employee organization for that bargaining unit, the City must provide additional information during the public hearing, including the following: (1) the total number of vacancies; (2) the number of applicants; (3) the average time to fill positions; and (4) opportunities to improve compensation and working conditions for employees in the bargaining unit. (Gov. Code § 3502.3(c).)
POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
The administrative policy and procedures for the public hearing on City vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts (“Policy”) establish protocol for the City’s public hearings on vacancies in order to ensure a fair, orderly and efficient hearing process.
The Policy set forth specific requirements concerning matters such as the provision of notice to recognized employee organizations regarding the public hearing and their right to make a presentation at the hearing, the length and order of the City’s and the employee organizations’ presentations, and the standards of discourse during the public hearing.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with conducting the public hearing required under Gov.
Code § 3502.3. However, addressing recruitment and retention issues may involve future budget and bargaining considerations, which will be presented to the City Council as necessary.

STAFF REPORT – CITY COUNCIL MEETING
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Netra Khatri, City Engineer
PREPARER: Mara Grow, Administrative Specialist
DATE: March 26, 2025
TITLE: Find Ordinance No. 1577 to be Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act; and Introduce Ordinance No. 1577, An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Arcata Amending Arcata Municipal Code Regulations Regarding the Board of Appeals.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Council:
1) Open the public hearing;
2) Receive a staff report and public comments;
3) Find that adoption of Ordinance No. 1577 is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines for the reasons stated in Ordinance No. 1577; and
4) Introduce Ordinance No. 1577, An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Arcata Amending Arcata Municipal Code Regulations Regarding the Board of Appeals, Title II (Administration), Chapter 3 (Boards, Commissions, Committees, and Task Forces), Articles (5 and 6); Waive reading of the text, and consent to read by title only.
INTRODUCTION:
Staff propose amendments to Article 5 to include appeals for any decisions made by the Building Official. The previous language “Board of Permit Appeals” limits the scope that a citizen can appeal to permit decisions only. The revised language is consistent with current state law and the Building Standards Code.
With the revisions to Article 5, Article 6 (Handicapped Access Appeals Board) becomes unnecessary.
BACKGROUND:
In 1982 California introduced the first building codes which included accessibility features. In the years that followed there was much confusion and conflict. Many cities created a separate appeals board specifically to address accessibility issues. In 1991-1992 the federal ADA laws gave a much more firm and consistent foundation for accessibility regulations. Further amendments in 2010
provided updated regulations. The current iteration of the “Handicapped Access Appeals Board” has not been called to hear an appeal in at least 10 years.
DISCUSSION:
Adoption of Ordinance No. 1577 will provide much wider flexibility for an appeals board to hear any matter of concern based on a decision made by the Building Official.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA):
This ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, the commonsense exemption. The Ordinance implements state-mandated legislation aimed at reducing the reliance on fossil fuels, reducing green house gas emissions, and encouraging the use of fuel-efficient electric vehicles by requiring the ministerial issuance of building permits for installation of electric vehicle charging stations. It can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the adoption of this Ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:
Not applicable as there is no immediate financial impact as a result of this ordinance.
